This graphite pencil drawing ‘Meyendel – 22-03-16’ is a cubist approach to a tree typical of the place. I took a deformed tree as artistic motif.

This pastel drawing ‘Meyendel – 20-12-15’ is the result of an extended search. Initially, monochrome but turned into cubist colorific splendor.

A more cubistic pastel drawing of Meyendel, following the previous ones. I like this ones better because I dared to put the cubes through the branches so the drawing becomes fragmented.

Meyendel is a park to the north of The Hague, near Wassenaar, part dunes, part forest where I like to come often. It is marked by all kinds of trees and especially the pines I love to draw / paint.

I was attracted to the light shing through the needles of the pine, almost making them transparant and blueish rather than showing sharp contours.

A vista point of view to draw from. Challenging enough because of lack of tonality. I had the bramberry-like bushes in front to get the depth going.
